Utai went to right wing, Ryan right centre and Ayshford moved in closer but i wouldnt say he played 5/8....Moltzen did a lot more ballplaying and basically defended at fullback but playef 5/8 in attack, his best position.

Id be watching Simona very closely this week, as id be happy to see Moltzen given a chance at 6

kicking game was huge along with impact from the bench.

the big difference was benji stepped up and executed plays that allowed us to keep the pressure up.

Yeah Benji said after the game that with Lawrence off, it forced him to get involved more.

Yes and it seemed that the times he looked most dangerous was when he was a little wider......

Definiately, he needs to be 2 wide of the ruck, which not only gives him enough space to work his magic, but it usually sees the opposition holding off waiting for Benji to do something, which could be anything.

Moltzen looked to be a 5/8th at times and gee it looks like his natural position to me.

Benji was fine with 7 on his back.

There are a lack of fullback options, AND from interviews etc. it seems Moltzen provides a tonne of dirrection behind the defensive line. It's really noticeable at the game how much he is controlling where the defensive line moves, something that was non-existent when Humble/Ryan was fullback.
